Driver Cuts Wife Into Pieces, Buries Her In Two Uncompleted Buildings In Lagos [Gory Photos]

A Lagos
driver, Shakiru Bello, who was arrested for allegedly killing his wife,
Sherifat, said he cut her remains into pieces to escape the wrath of her father,
Akeem Atanda, and to avoid being prosecuted for her death.

Shakiru added
that after hiding her remains in different uncompleted buildings in Lagos, he
fled to Ibadan, Oyo State.

A team from
the Ijora Badia Police Division, led by the Operations Officer, ASP Talabi
Segun, recovered Sherifat’s head and neck in Morocco, Yaba, while other parts
of her body were recovered in another uncompleted building on Moshalashi
Street, Somolu.

Source
revealed that Sherifat and Shakiru, who were married for over nine years, were
separated in July 2016.

The victim,
who lived on Daramola Street in the Ijora Badia area, had, however, last Monday
reportedly demanded money for the upkeep of their three children.

Shakiru was
said to have invited her to a location where they allegedly met. She never
returned home.

The victim’s
father, Akeem, on Tuesday reported a case of missing person to the police,
leading to a search for the suspect.

A source said
Akeem told policemen that an unidentified number called him that his daughter
fell into a lagoon.

The source
said, “The police tracked the number, and discovered that the caller was in
Ibadan. He (Shakiru) was arrested and brought down to Lagos around 1am on
Saturday.”

The suspect
was said to have led the police to the two uncompleted buildings where the
remains of the late Sherifat were recovered.

Shakiru said,
“After we separated, I secretly reconciled with her and we started meeting. On
the average, I gave her N15,000 in a week. On that Monday, she called me that
she needed money and we agreed to meet.

“I gave her
N10,000 that evening. She later begged me to accompany her to Lagos Island
where her niece was admitted in a hospital. We took a motorcycle and were on
the Third Mainland Bridge when a truck hit us from behind.

“I took her to
my house on Olaleye Street, Somolu, around 12am. I went out to get her balm and
some drugs. Unfortunately, she died. I was afraid of her father, who didn’t
want to see us together. Also, I couldn’t report to the police, so I decided to
put her body in a sack and dispose of it. When it was not going into the sack,
I cut off her arms, head, legs and other parts.”

A police
source, however, revealed that the private parts of the victim were missing,
saying the suspect might not be acting alone.

The
state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said investigations
were ongoing.
